Adventure Awaits

5/4/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Happy Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it’s the first of May… the first half of the year is almost gone! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #80 – Anything Goes! I created a fun pop-up book fold using papers, stamps, a foam element and a puffy button from the super adorable Keep It Simple Hello Adventure Collection. It’s been quite a while since I’ve made this fun fold and I had forgotten how fun it was to make and to embellish!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White along with layering panels from dotted prints in the Keep It Simple Hello Adventure 12×12 Collection Pack and Flipsides Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set in Memento Esspresso Truffle ink on the focal die cut piece and then added hearts from the Hello Adventure Foam Alpha Bits and Puffy Buttons. The finishing touch was adding several Hello Adventure Enamel Dots.

I embellished the outer panels on the inside with prints in the Keep It Simple Hello Adventure 12×12 Collection Pack and Flipsides Pack. I stamped woodgrain on the two smaller Solar White pop-up panels in Memento Espresso Truffle ink using the Keep It Simple Woodgrain background stamp. Next I added a stamped tree, mushrooms and stump from the Adventure Awaits stamp set along with a stamped fox and sentiment from the Find Your Wild Side stamp set which I colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut.

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m stoked to be back on the Printable Cuttable Creatables blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a slimline card using the super adorable Pouncing Cat and Yarn Basket SVG files from the amazing Purrr-fect Pals Cat SVG Bundle. OMGoodness, there are a whopping 29 files in this bundle and if you are a fellow cat lover, then you’re sure to find some whimsical kitties and accessories that you just can’t live without! I had birthday in mind when I created this card but it really could be used for just about any celebratory event.

I cut a 3-3/4″ x 9″ slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with a layering panel from The Paper Studio Entirely Textures 2 paper pad which I adhered to the card base. I cut all the pieces from the Pouncing Cat and Yarn Basket SVG files (both from the Purrr-fect Pals Cat SVG Bundle) from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. This was something a little different than cutting the pieces from colored cardstock which I typically do.

I used bright alcohol marker colors for the yarn balls which created great contrast against the neutral background. I colored black spots on the kitty to resemble our guy, Loki. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock, and embellished it with leftover patterned paper used on the front and a narrow strip of GKD Charcoal Brown cardstock. I stamped another sentiment (from the same stamp set) in brown ink and layered the panel on the charcoal brown cardstock.

And one more peek… this kitty is so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it! And the yarn basket definitely adds to the cuteness factor! LOVE how this turned out!
